27 Feet of Art.........and MORE!

Each year in Olympia, The Washington Center For The Performing Arts has an annual fundraiser called "27 Feet of Art....and MORE!" It is an art exhibit and online auction fundraiser which began with 27 artists, but has grown over the years.

Artists donate a piece of art that is 12" X 12" to raise money for the arts in our town. Submissions are in early August and the final selection is announced by mid-month. Last year I attended the event which was not only fun, but also an excellent exhibit.

This year I will submit an oil painting. Since I bought a package of seven 12" X 12" canvases at the art store, I will be asking for your input in selecting the one to enter. Bonus, leftovers will be shown locally at Holiday Happenings in November.

Welcome!

About Me

The flow of the water and pigments on paper fascinates me. Painting with watercolors is a blend of spontaneity and control and freedom. Each act of painting begins with the thought, “I wonder what will appear?” There is no formula to painting with watercolors. In the midst of painting an inner guidance says, some purple here, now.

Along with creating art, especially watercolor painting, I design workshops and classes with specific foci to explore the creative process through art media to foster self-awareness.

"Artistic expression lies in all of us and requires only a sense of trust and the freedom to allow the flowing for magic to happen."
